Cookie just had a girl
She's always had singles
Let's hope for another

She had another girl but she is tiny
I mean tiny

Not doing well

2nd girl didn't make it
She never stood a chance, She only weighed 15.8 oz
Never had that happen
Her heart was beating but she struggled to ever take a breath as much as we tried

Other girl is good
Weighed 3-13 oz perfectly normal

Sorry OFA. Still sad.
It does make you wonder doesn't it. She always has singles and this time a twin but very small.
It is like those quads... 2 at 3.3 and the other 2 identical and both roughly 1.10.

Glad for a single healthy doeling for you.

That had struck me too that she had always had singles
Who was that with the 1.1 quads?
Smallest quad we've ever had was 2-2oz?
I read on another forum that the smallest they ever had make it was 1-8oz
This one looked fully formed but I don't think her lungs were fully developed

As soon as she was born Maurine said "oh no" She knew immediately
It's very sad

so sorry to hear
